Region

A Region is the highest level special purpose non-legal administrative division in use by a specific government department, agency, or organization. Typically the sum total of regions recognized by a particular organization will cover the entire geography of the Principality. Different organizations may create their own regions out of the existing state territory, or they may use those regions already established by other organizations should they meet their needs. The reasoning behind the establishment of regions will be different depending on what organization has established them and for what purpose.
